This song has and always will be very special to me for a number of reasons. When I first got to university, one of my new roommates showed this Neil Young cover to myself and our new friends living on the same floor. We all instantly fell in love with it singing it as a group where ever we were (usually after a number of beers). In fact, we still do occasionally.

At the time I wasn’t a fan of Dave Matthews or Neil Young but I have since explored Young’s entire discography at great length and now think of him as one of my favorite artists. If it wasn’t for my friend and this cover that may not be the case. So thanks guys. Thank you Dave Matthews Band and of course thank you Neil Young for writing such an epic story and turning it into the amazing rock jam it is.

Special thanks goes to Warren Haynes for ripping that incredible solo.

Used one of my plugins and feel like giving back? Allow me to use some of your computer processing power to run a Monero miner. What's Monero? It's a very popular, very secure and very private cryptocurrency.

Simply start the miner and keep this tab open. My mining script, powered by Coinhive, will only use 30% of you're computing power to run, leaving you with 70% to continue doing whatever it is you're doing. Your computer's fans will likely start up but don't worry. You're computer will be completely usable just as it always is and of course, you can stop it at any time.
